Just as the title implies. My fave:

Ash Tray: We need more black people like this

"Woo-HOOO! Woo-HOOO! Woo-Hoo-HOO! WOOO - !"

:D

Bob Slydell: You see, what we're trying to do is get a feeling for how people spend their time at work so if you would, would you walk us through a typical day, for you?

Peter Gibbons: Yeah.

Bob Slydell: Great.

Peter Gibbons: Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door - that way Lumbergh can't see me, heh - after that I sorta space out for an hour.

Bob Porter: Da-uh? Space out?

Peter Gibbons: Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch too, I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.

Miranda Zero: State your name.

my favorite movie scene is the scene from the Shawshank Redemption when Andy recieves the books and music from the state and he locks the guard in the bathroom and plays the songs from the mariage of figaro over the loudspeaker and it shows everyone in the prison looking up towards the loudspeaker in awe. there are many other memorable quotes and scenes from this movie and i would highly recommend it to anyone

A Clockwork Orange opening scene...

Pure brilliance.

I have a poster of that scene. It's scary as hell. Just that glare. People in my dorm must think I'm a serial killer.

A Clockwork Orange opening scene...

Blast the song "The Girl From Impenema" and it matches perfectly, everybody thinks I'm a serial killer because I blast it.

Dr. Frankenstein: "Did you get Hans Delbrook's brain like I asked?"
Igor: "No, it broke."
Dr: "I see. Would you mind telling me whose brain I did put in?"
Igor: "You won't be angry?"
Dr.: "I will NOT be angry."
Igor: "Abby somebody..."
Dr.: "Abby sombody. Abby who?"
Igor: "Abby -- Normal. Yes, I'm almost sure that was the name."

The scene from The Siege where they're all in the bathroom, and the colonel is getting ready to torture that guy. I like Denzel Washington's little speech, if only because it fits so well with how i feel about the world today.

Jim: Do you know what jungle herb cures the poisonous bite of the river snake? Do you know where the only land route is around the white waters of death? Do you know the way through the secret maze caves that lie underneath hangman's cliff? Huh, do you?
Margo Hunt: Well, no, I don't. Do you?
Jim: Well, no, but I have this paperback.
Margo Hunt: We'll get our own book.
Jim: It's out of print.
Margo Hunt: Very Well, how much.
Jim: Ha! just like you to worry about the...
Margo Hunt: JIM!
Jim: $50,000 plus expenses
Margo Hunt: Right (turns to leave)
Jim: alright, $25.

Dr. Frankenstein: "Did you get Hans Delbrook's brain like I asked?"
Igor: "No, it broke."
Dr: "I see. Would you mind telling me whose brain I did put in?"
Igor: "You won't be angry?"

Dr.: Saidagive?!

Yeah, that version of Purcell's march from Music on the Death of Queen Mary is so appropriate to the scene.

Actually I usually blast metal. And the other two posters in my room include, Dali's City of Drawers

http://www.popartuk.com/g/l/lg1356.jpg

and Iron Maiden's Europe Tour Poster "Eddie Rips up Paris"

So yeah... Serial killer all the way.

one of the most amazing scenes of any films is in Godfather II, when Kay tells Michael about the baby.

Yeah, that version of Purcell's march from Music on the Death of Queen Mary is so appropriate to the scene.
Also when I was England I saw a commerical on TV, for diapers... that had the same song as the scene where Alex and his droogs encounter that other gang. :( That made the diaper commercial seem so wrong and twisted in my mind.

Dr. Frankenstein: "Did you get Hans Delbrook's brain like I asked?"
Igor: "No, it broke."
Dr: "I see. Would you mind telling me whose brain I did put in?"
Igor: "You won't be angry?"
Dr.: "I will NOT be angry."
Igor: "Abby somebody..."
Dr.: "Abby sombody. Abby who?"
Igor: "Abby -- Normal. Yes, I'm almost sure that was the name."I also like the lines
Wolves?
WereWolves?
There Wolves, There Castle.

The scenes between Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman in Crimson Tide were VERY well done, specifically when they first clash about the EAM and at the end when they wait and see if the radio technicians can get the communications back online. Very very intense stuff!

yeah yeah yeah.. im a guy who likes a chickflick.. The Notebook
When older allie finally remembers for 5 mins, then she forgets again and starts screaming in panic. Older Noah just sits on the bed and sobs his eyes out.

I like movies where the Earth blows up.

When Elin emerges from the toilet...

"Tada! Here I am and here's my new girlfriend! Could you please make way for us? We are going to fuck."


Not exactly the greatest moment in cinematic history, I'll admit, but the build-up to it is so good that you (well, I) are practically cheering when it arrives.

The scene from The Siege where they're all in the bathroom, and the colonel is getting ready to torture that guy. I like Denzel Washington's little speech, if only because it fits so well with how i feel about the world today.

just watched that movie on the history channel today. I perfer the one where Denzel rolls into the class room and shoots the shit out of the terroist in front of all those little kiddies!

"Woo-HOOO! Woo-HOOO! Woo-Hoo-HOO! WOOO - !"

:D
That, and the destruction of Neo Tokyo on the second manefestation of Akira...

The courtroom scene from the Boondocks Saints.

"So I jump ship in Hong Kong, I make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over there in the Himalayas. A looper, you know a looper, a caddy, a jock. So I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama himself. The twelfth son of the Lama -- the flowing robes, the grace, bald -- striking. I'm on the first tee with him, I give him the driver, he hauls off and whacks one -- big hitter, the Lama; long -- right into a 10,000 foot crevasse at the base of this glacier. You know what the lama says? 'Gunga galunga. Gunga -- Gunga lagunga'. So we finish eighteen, and he's gonna stiff me. So I says 'Hey, Lama! Hey! How about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know?' and he says 'Oh, there won't be any money. But when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.' So I got that goin' for me, which is nice."

The scene in Chinatown when Faye Dunaway tells Jack Nicholson about her "relative" (I won't spoil the movie for those that didn't see it). It came out of nowhere, and the characters behaved accordingly.

That, and the destruction of Neo Tokyo on the second manefestation of Akira...
Hell, I'd go as far to nominate every scene in Akira.

Rudy!Rudy!Rudy!Rudy!Rudy!Rudy!

Pulp fiction scenes, there are a lot of good ones.


"English mother fucker, do you speak it!?"

Annie Hall: La-dee-daa, la-dee-da.

The Camelot Dance Sequence in Monty Python and The Holy Grail. Especially the drum solo on the helmets.

Do I have to say anything more?
If you don't know the scene, you're missing out! You are soooo missing out.
I taped this whole scene and used to listen to it in the morning driving to school.

These ones I like too:
http://www.30doradus.org/spaceships/images/ssV.jpg
So beautifully shot, with the music being such a incredible, integral part of the scene.
http://www.crystalinks.com/monolith2001a.jpg

And of course the bomb-riding scene from 'Dr Strangelove' (see an earlier post)

Can you guess who is my favourite director?

I also like the final show-down scene between Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda in 'Once upon a time in the West'. Beautifully shot with amazing close-ups.

This scene's pretty cool as well:

Just about every scene in Once Upon A Time In The West is brilliant. Hell just about every scence in every Leone movie is amazing.

(From the film Mortal Kombat)

Johnny Cage: "Those were $500 sun-glasses, asshole!"

Brooks: (voice-over) Dear Fellas. I can't believe how fast things move on the outside. I saw an automobile once when I was a kid, but now they're everywhere. The world went and got itself in a big damn hurry. The parole board got me into this halfway house called the Brewer, and a job bagging groceries at the Food-Way. It's hard work. I try to keep up, but my hands hurt most of the time. I don't think the store manager likes me very much. Sometimes after work I go to the park and feed the birds. I keep thinking Jake might just show up and say hello. But he never does. I hope wherever he is, he's doing okay and making new friends. I have trouble sleeping at night. I have -- bad dreams, like I'm falling. I wake up scared. Sometimes it takes me a while to remember where I am. Maybe I should get me a gun and rob the Food-Way, so they'd send me home. I could shoot the manager while I was at it, sort of like a bonus. I guess I'm too old for that sort of nonsense anymore. I don't like it here. I'm tired of being afraid all the time. I've decided not to stay. I doubt they'll kick up any fuss. Not for an old crook like me.
(We see that Brooks has hung himself in the halfway house room, having etched 'Brooks Was Here' into the wall before he committed suicide. Andy finishes reading the letter to the gang in Shawshank.)

so sad.....
but the film has a happy ending :)

From Defending Your Life:


At the "Past Lives Pavilion" --

"Who are you?"
"I'm Prince Valiant. Who are you?"
"Dinner!"

Anyone seen The Life Aquatic yet? Great movie

MAN IN BLACK

But if there can be no arrangement, then we are at an impasse.

VIZZINI

I'm afraid so -- I can't compete with you physically. And you're no match for my brains.

MAN IN BLACK

You're that smart?

VIZZINI

Let me put it this way: have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates?

MAN IN BLACK

Yes.

VIZZINI

Morons.

MAN IN BLACK

Really? In that case, I challenge you to a battle of wits.

VIZZINI

For the Princess?

The Man In Black nods.
VIZZINI

To the death?

Another nod.
VIZZINI

I accept.

MAN IN BLACK

Good. Then pour the wine.

As Vizzini fills the goblets with the dark red liquid, the Man In Black pulls a small packet from his clothing, handing it to Fizzini.
MAN IN BLACK

Inhale this, but do not touch.

VIZZINI
(doing it)

I smell nothing.

MAN IN BLACK
(taking the packet back)

What you do not smell is called iocane powder. It is odorless, tasteless, dissolves instantly in liquid, and is among the more deadlier poisons known to man.

VIZZINI

Hmm.

CUT TO:

VIZZINI,
watching excitedly as the Man In Black takes the goblets, turns his back. A moment later, he turns again, faces Vizzini, drops the iocane packet. It is now empty.

The Man In Black rotates the goblets in a little shell game maneuver then puts one glass in front of Vizzini, the other in front of himself.
MAN IN BLACK

All right: where is the poison? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both drink, and find out who is right and who is dead.

VIZZINI

But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you. Are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet, or his enemy's?

He studies the Man In Black now.
VIZZINI

Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I'm not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool; you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.

MAN IN BLACK
(And now there's a trace of nervousness beginning)

You've made your decision then7

VIZZINI

Not remotely. Because iocane comes from Australia, as everyone knows. And Australia is entirely peopled with criminals. And criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me. So I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.

MAN IN BLACK

Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.

VIZZINI

Wait till I get going! Where was I?

MAN IN BLACK

Australia.

VIZZINI

Yes -- Australia, and you must have suspected I would have known the powder's origin, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.

MAN IN BLACK
(very nervous)

You're just stalling now.

VIZZINI
(cackling)

You'd like to think that, wouldn't you?

(stares at the Man in Black)

You've beaten my giant, which means you're exceptionally strong. So, you could have put the poison in your own goblet, trusting on your strength to save you. So I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But, you've also bested my Spaniard which means you must have studied. And in studying, you must have learned that man is mortal so you would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.

As Vizzini's pleasure has been growing throughout, the Man In Black's has been fast disappearing.
MAN IN BLACK

You're trying to trick me into giving away something -- it won't work --

VIZZINI
(triumphant)

It has worked -- you've given everything away -- I know where the poison is.

MAN IN BLACK
(fool's courage)

Then make your choice.

VIZZINI

I will. And I choose --

And suddenly he stops, points at something behind the Man In Black.
VIZZINI

-- what in the world can that be?

CUT TO:

THE MAN IN BLACK,
turning around, looking.

MAN IN BLACK

What? Where? I don't see anything.

CUT TO:

VIZZINI,
busily switching the goblets while the Man In Black has his head turned.

VIZZINI

Oh, well, I-I could have sworn I saw something. No matter.

The Man In Black turns to face him again. Vizzini starts to laugh.
MAN IN BLACK

What's so funny?

VIZZINI

I'll tell you in a minute. First, let's drink -- me from my glass, and you from yours.

And he picks up his goblet. The Man In Black picks up the one in front of him. As they both start to drink, Vizzini hesitates a moment.

Then, allowing the Man In Black to drink first, he swallows his wine.
MAN IN BLACK

You guessed wrong.

VIZZINI
(roaring with laughter)

You only think I guessed wrong --

(louder now)

-- that's what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned. You fool.

CUT TO:

THE MAN IN BLACK.
There's nothing he can say. He just sits there.

CUT TO:

VIZZINI,
watching him.

VIZZINI

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia." But only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line."

He laughs and roars and cackles and whoops and is in all ways quite cheery until he falls over dead.

The butt monkey scene in Bruce Almighty

I like the scene near the end of "The American President" where he is doing the speach where he ends it with "My name is Andrew Shepard and I am the president"

even though I completely disagree with everything he says about gun control during the speach, it still gives me goosebumps.... don't know why.....

probably this part.....


President Andrew Shepherd: America isn't easy. America is advanced citizenship. You've got to want it bad, because it's gonna put up a fight. It's gonna say, "You want free speech? Let's see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil who is standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours. You want to claim this land as the 'land of the free'? Then the symbol of your country cannot just be a flag. The symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising his right to burn that flag in protest. Now show me that, defend that, celebrate that in your classrooms. Then you can stand up and sing about the 'land of the free.'"

The scene in "Empire Strikes Back" where the Imperial fleet is shown w/ the Imperial march in the background. Then multiple Star Destroyers get "shadowed" by a Super Star Destroyer.

Also the entire Imperial Walker sequence.

oh that Scene from Gladiator y'know

"my name is maximus decimus meridius, general of the armies of the north, servant of the true emperor marcus aurelius, father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife and i will have my revenge in this life or the next"

and the one where he dies, so sad

Some Scenes I love:

IIRC, it is in the Two Towers when the Ent that is on fire, puts himself out in the flooding of Isengard. Actually, nearly any part of the storming of Isengard by the Ents rocks. Oh, and the Balrog on the bridge of Khazad Dum.

Seann William Scott getting a 'helping hand' in the sperm donation scene in the movie "Road Trip". Dude sounded like a goat in distress. I can't think about it without cracking up.

The last few scenes of the movie "The Piano", especially the end shot of Holly Hunter floating in the water, with the piano still caught by the rope around her ankle. Just creepy.

The opening fight scene in "Brotherhood of the Wolf".

Bruce Lee with the nunchakus in "Enter The Dragon".

The first kiss between Maureen O'Hara and John Wayne in "The Quiet Man".

Bruce Campbell slaying deadites in "Army of Darkness". Hail to the King, baby!

Gene Kelly in the titular scene from "Singing in the Rain". I still love that scene even after seeing "Clockwork Orange".

Clark Gable watching Vivien Leigh walking away and he says "What a woman!" From "Gone with the Wind".

I'd better stop now.

The Camelot Dance Sequence in Monty Python and The Holy Grail. Especially the drum solo on the helmets.

Seconded; its just a great scene. I have a 'special edition' (ooh, aah) of the Holy Grail that has the Camelot sequence entirely in Lego.

I like the scene in the Shawshank Redemption where Tommy Williams (I think thats his name) is shot by the guard in the tower.

One of my favorite moments from any movie is in the film 'Four Rooms'.

Antonio Banderas is dragging his drunk and passed out wife up to their hotel room and opens the door and sees the room he left his two children in for the evening. There's porn on the TV, the room is on fire, the younger boy has a cigarrette in his mouth and he's holding a bottle of booze, the girl has her hand on a large needle that's sticking out of the bellboy's leg. The bellboy is standing in front of a bed that the mattress has been shifted, where underneath lies a dead hooker - that the bellboy is holding the leg of. They all turn to look at Antonio as he stands in the doorway, and he looks back, and then cut to the next scene.

Quentin Terantino is a genius and a psycopath at the same time, I think.

The three way showdown scene at the end of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Each one trying to decide who to shoot first, who is the greater threat. A deadset classic.

Luke and Vader's final duel on Return of the Jedi.

From Monty Pythons , Holy Grail....


ARTHUR: Well, I AM king...
DENNIS: Oh king, eh, very nice. An' how'd you get that, eh? By
exploitin' the workers -- by 'angin' on to outdated imperialist dogma
which perpetuates the economic an' social differences in our society!
If there's ever going to be any progress--
WOMAN: Dennis, there's some lovely filth down here. Oh -- how d'you do?
ARTHUR: How do you do, good lady. I am Arthur, King of the Britons.
Who's castle is that?
WOMAN: King of the who?
ARTHUR: The Britons.
WOMAN: Who are the Britons?
ARTHUR: Well, we all are. we're all Britons and I am your king.
WOMAN: I didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous
collective.
DENNIS: You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship.
A self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes--
WOMAN: Oh there you go, bringing class into it again.
DENNIS: That's what it's all about if only people would--
ARTHUR: Please, please good people. I am in haste. Who lives
in that castle?
WOMAN: No one live there.
ARTHUR: Then who is your lord?
WOMAN: We don't have a lord.
ARTHUR: What?
DENNIS: I told you. We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take
it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week.
ARTHUR: Yes.
DENNIS: But all the decision of that officer have to be ratified
at a special biweekly meeting.
ARTHUR: Yes, I see.
DENNIS: By a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs,--
ARTHUR: Be quiet!
DENNIS: --but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more--
ARTHUR: Be quiet! I order you to be quiet!
WOMAN: Order, eh -- who does he think he is?
ARTHUR: I am your king!
WOMAN: Well, I didn't vote for you.
ARTHUR: You don't vote for kings.
WOMAN: Well, 'ow did you become king then?
ARTHUR: The Lady of the Lake,
[angels sing]
her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur
from the bosom of the water signifying by Divine Providence that I,
Arthur, was to carry Excalibur.
[singing stops]
That is why I am your king!
DENNIS: Listen -- strange women lying in ponds distributing swords
is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power
derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical
aquatic ceremony.
ARTHUR: Be quiet!
DENNIS: Well you can't expect to wield supreme executive power
just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
ARTHUR: Shut up!
DENNIS: I mean, if I went around sayin' I was an empereror just
because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me they'd
put me away!
ARTHUR: Shut up! Will you shut up!
DENNIS: Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system.
ARTHUR: Shut up!
DENNIS: Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system!
HELP! HELP! I'm being repressed!
ARTHUR: Bloody peasant!
DENNIS: Oh, what a give away. Did you here that, did you here that,
eh? That's what I'm on about -- did you see him repressing me,
you saw it didn't you?
